Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Eboue has improved his passing ability and delivering killer assists is a new string to his bow, according to manager Arsene Wenger.
Ivory Coast international Eboue is viewed by some Arsenal fans as the weakest link in the Arsenal squad, but Frenchman Wenger does not share this opinion.
The Alsatian understands the supporters’ ‘frustration’ but assumes the utility player is becoming a decent passer.
Eboue offered a magic back-heel assist to Robin van Persie during the 4-0 victory against Newcastle, a game that was shown live on Setanta Sports.
“Since the start of the season, Eboue has played well,” Wenger told the club’s official website.
“He had two good games in central midfield. At Fulham, he was one of the players who was not disappointing and he had a good performance against Newcastle as well.
“He's a football player. Sometimes I play him, sometimes [Theo] Walcott, sometimes [Samir] Nasri.
“There was a little bit of frustration from the fans because they thought that he didn't always have enough end-product, but he has improved a lot in that respect.
“He has put over good final balls since the start of the season.”

Wenger... I understand he had to say many weird things last season to keep his boys in the right frame and motivated... But this really takes the cake... Even Arsenal fans would find this hard to accept...
